You know, I would like to retire someday. I know I am awfully young to be thinking about this now, but when my time comes I want to know that I have enough saved and will be able to live comfortably for the rest of my life, should I reach retirement age. There are some people in this world who enjoy work and do it as long as possible, and some who work because they have no other choice, regardless of their age. I always feel bad when I see old people working at places like Wal-Mart, it just makes me feel bad. I know these people fall into both categories I mentioned, but I just think that it is sad when they have to work because they are not being taken care of by friends or family. I don't mind it if they do want to work but for those that HAVE to, I wish they didn't. Not only because I think they have worked for so long and should have a break, but because some people are just so damn mean. Have you seen how cranky or mean some people are to the cart ladies or the nice little old men who hand out the smiley face stickers? It's ridiculous. Last time I was home my grandma mentioned she thought about applying to Wal-Mart. My grandma is one of the sweetest people in the world and I hate the thought of someone being mean to her, and I would hate for her to have to get a job now, when all she should have to worry about is making sure all her flowers are planted for the summer. It's dumb. Wal-Mart is evil. Old people should not have to work a single day past the age of retirement. If anyone is mean to my grandma I will punch them in the face.
Not much else is going on aside from working. We have extended hours for Back to School in August. Gross. But if I get almost 40 a week I will be happy. Nothing else great to report on, but something I forgot about a week and a half ago when we were out: we saw Crazy Rachel. She flipped us off. Guess she's still a little mad, but not my problem, like I told her, it was her mistake, not mine. I emailed her and said I didn't think she was being mature flipping my friends off and she responded saying she was flipping me off, not them. I think it is kind of hard to flip someone off if they are not looking at you. Then the full effect of the flipping off is lost if they don't even know you did it. She's dumb. She responded to me also saying that I was still a selfish bitch who stabbed her in the back. My bad, I forgot that she ranks above everyone else in my life, but honestly, she knew Adam was going away, of course I would want to spend every waking moment possible with him. And if one were to talk about being a true friend, then she should have told me about Alexis and Adam when I point blank asked her if he had cheated on me. But that's neither here nor there, because the point is, she will always be crazy and I will always be right.
I am kind of anxious for school to start, I am getting bored. I am glad I will be in a familiar classroom with a familiar teacher, and it's cool that I get to be Mrs. Rengal's first student teacher. We'll see how it goes, but I'm psyched. But right now, I think I just want to take a nap.

yeah, i agree with you.
its really said, when older people HAVE to go work. but its because of the bad social system in the states.
i live in germany, and here old people dont need to work. we dont have that much poor people living on the streets, looking for something to eat in the trash.
and then, when im going to the states and im seeing these people.. i just feel sorry for them.
BUT something that is much worse then that...
in africa are so many YOUNG people dying beacause they have nothing to eat. and they dont even have the chance to work. and why?
because of us europeans and slavery.
what do you think about this?

I'm not sure I see your connection between slavery then, and starvation now. Perhaps I am that uneducated, but I don't think that slavery is the reason for the starvation occurring in several places around the world, not just Africa. Unfortunately I also feel that we need to work on saving our own people who are starving here before we work on anyone elses problems, because I think sometimes the US gets too involved in too many areas of the world at once and we strain our own resources when we need them to help our people right here at home.
